According to NYMag.com, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano is launching his maternity fashion line in conjunction with Moody Mamas founders Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin.
What’s the line gonna be called?  Fierce for Moody Mamas by Christian Siriano and it will premiere Spring 2009.

Love the name.
I’m looking forward to seeing the line so we can all chit-chat about it here on Hot Mama Daily…Stay tuned!

 
I’m sure most of my Hot Mamas living in the southern U.S. states are well are of Pickles and Ice Cream (don’t cha just LOVE that name?), the fab maternity boutiques.  I just recently found them and learned they are the oldest and largest maternity clothing franchise in the United States.  They’re also expanding up north (Brooklyn, NY – they’re on the way) this fall.
Along with the brick and morter boutique locations, Pickles and Ice Cream of course has an online presence too.   And it’s not just clothing for Moms-to-be; there’s beauty/skincare items, diaper bags and baby items too.  …read more

In the meantime, I’m noticing that these celebrity Hot Mamas To-Be have been keeping it casual and light with maxi dresses and comfy sandals. Perfect for any stage of pregnancy and ohhhh soooo comfortable. I remember how “free” I felt in maxi dresses while I was pregnant. No restricting pants with restricting waistlines. No fighting with zippers and buttons …read more

I won’t even make this a long post, but it has to be said. There’s nothing sexier than a woman in a trench coat. I’m sure I’ve said this before.
Either with some hot to death pumps or with some adorable rain boots, even some on-point flats, it’s a must. I wore mine today for the first time this season. I don’t know what it is…but I just feel so….official in it.
Here’s a few I found while browsing:
American Living Lightweight Trench – on sale $78.00 USD

Spiegel Signature Luxe Linen Collection: Trench-Style Coat $89.00 USD

According to the LA Times new Hot Mama Nicole Richie may be the next celebrity in line to put out a fashion line–in maternity wear.
Should be very interesting if true…I’d be interested, that’s if I were pregnant, of course.. (I’m NOT so don’t even GO there! LOL!)

I’m seeing a pattern lately: lots of maxi (and mini!) dresses with ruffle trim on the skirt edges. Reminds me of the ‘gypsy’ maxi skirt/dress trend from the past few years. And me likey.
Maxi dresses are perfect as Hot-Mama-To-Be wear, as so eloquently shown recently by #2 favorite 2008 Celeb Hot-Mama-To Be, Angelina Jolie (my #1 being, of COURSE, Halle Berry–hey…speaking of Halle, she’s been quiet lately… Isn’t she due this month??)
Anyhoo, apparently moms-to-be are going crazy online asking about the dress Angelina Jolie wore earlier this week (at an airport in Austin, TX with her …read more

Up to 25% off! You all know I love a good sale, and you know I’m all for winter clearance so get in while the gettin’s good.
True story: I only owned TWO pair of maternity pants during my my third trimester and they were both from Old Navy. I refused to pay top dollar for overpriced pants at maternity ’specialty’ stores. I simply refused. I bought one pair of maternity jeans, and the other was a pair of cordoroy maternity trousers that I wore often to work. I honestly don’t know how I survived …read more

OMG!  I’m here totally jealous at how AMAZING every single celebrity looked at Madonna & Gucci’s UNICEF event for Malawi last night. 
Seriously, I don’t think anyone had a (major) miss last night.  And from the look of things the only big names missing from last night’s event were Halle Berry, Beyonce/Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake.  Everyyyone else was at that party last night (except yours truly of course…*Le sigh*…OK, I kid, I kid…kinda sorta, but not really…)
